2 Months and 'Get To Know Me' Tag!!

-


I started my blog on the 26th April this year, so I have just passed the two month mark that I have had this blog for. I am first of all amazed that I have managed to keep it up for this long, but I am also so pleased with the people who have left me comments about it on various social media sights, a part of me can't believe that people actually like what I do!

I am really happy with my blog, but obviously I will keep improving and making it as good as it can be.

Because I've hit the two month mark, I thought I would do a 'Get To Know Me' tag that I found here: http://www.lebeautygirl.com/2011/06/get-to-know-me-tag-21-questions.html
I tag anyone and everyone reading to complete this tag so that I can learn more about other bloggers!



1. Are you named after anyone? No I'm not. My parents just chose names that the liked, although they probably heard the names somewhere before they gave them to me!
 
2. When was the last time you cried? Last Sunday while watching 'The Fault In Our Stars'. I was a complete mess and I can't wait until I can see it again!
 
3. Do you have kids? No.
 
4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself? Yes I would, I try to be the kind of friend that I would like to have, if that makes sense!
 
5. Do you use sarcasm a lot? I don't know if I've said this, but I speak fluent sarcasm, which is hard to portray through writing.
 
6. Will you ever bungee-jump? I don't think so. I have never been an adrenaline junkie and I'm terrified of heights so I think that they chances of me doing a bungee-jump are quite slim!
 
7. What’s your favourite cereal? Ready Brek, I like porridge type cereals.
 
8. What’s the first thing you notice about people? Eye contact and questions. Generally I like it if I can properly have a conversation with someone. That can't happen if I don't ask them questions about themselves and vice-versa
 
9. What is your eye colour? Brown.
 
10. Scary movie or happy endings? Both? I love horror movies, but I am a true romantic and I love watching movies where the lead couple gets together and lives 'happily ever after'
 
11. Favourite smells? JLO - Miami Glow or the smell of a candle being blown out.
 
12. Summer or winter? Winter. I love winter, especially because I was born during December and I don't do too well in the heat.
 
13. Computer or television? Computer, because how else would I watch the latest videos from my favourite YouTubers?
 
14. What’s the furthest you’ve ever been from home? I've been to Barbados when I was really young, but in recent times, probably Florida.
 
15. Do you have any special talents? I would say that writing, especially fiction, is a talent of mine. I've also been told that I'm quite good at giving advice (I don't know if that's a talent)!
 
16. Where were you born? London
 
17. What are your hobbies? Writing, reading, working on this blog, watching YouTube videos and working on new book ideas!
 
18. Do you have any pets? No, I am really not an animal person, but if I had to get one, it would definitely be a cat!
 
19. Favourite movie? At the moment it's 'Friends With Benefits' with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.
 
20. Do you have any siblings? Yes, a younger sister and a younger half brother and sister.
 
21. What do you want to be when you grow up? An author, hopefully, or maybe a publisher. Something to do with writing, I couldn't imagine doing anything else!
 
Again, I tag anyone reading to do this tag and tell me so that I can read it!
 
Thank you for reading.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

-

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
